----!!Other examples:* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': [[Creator/JeffreyCombs JEFFREY COMBS]] AS WEYOUN.* They're doing ''another'' adaptation of ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''? ''Another'' one? And it's going to be set in modern-day instead of period? Didn't they already try doing that back in the '40s? Wait... it's being created by ''Creator/StevenMoffat'' and ''Creator/MarkGatiss''? '''''Creator/{{MARTIN FREEMAN}}''''' is [[TheWatson Watson]]?? And '''''Creator/{{BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH}}''''' is [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Holmes]]? Holy shit!!** They're bringing in Mary Morstan ''and'' she's being played by Martin Freeman's partner Amanda Abbington?? Are there enough ways to say ''hell yes'' to this???** SERIES THREE!!!* Jane Espenson (of ''Series/{{Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}'', ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'', and ''Series/{{Caprica}}'' fame) is on the writing staff for ''Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay''! As are Doris Egan, whom one may know from ''Series/DarkAngel'' and ''Series/{{House}}'', and John Shiban, whom one may know from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and ''Series/TheXFiles''.* ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'' had ''two''. After it was decided to bring in a second pair of detectives ([[RealLifeWritesThePlot due to D'Onofrio becoming clinically exhausted]]), it was announced that the second pair would have Chris Noth, reprising his role as Mike Logan from the [[Series/LawAndOrder original series]]. And recent trailers have revealed that the next detective on the show, the [[spoiler:one replacing Logan]], would be played by '''Creator/JeffGoldblum'''.** And then, after D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe left the show in the 8th Season, Goldblum had an entire season to himself. However, middling ratings created a threat of cancellation, so he ended up jumping the ship and didn't renew his contract. So now what? Will they just stop the series? Wait...'''VINCENT D'ONOFRIO IS COMING BACK???''' '''''WITH KATHRYN ERBE???????''''' '''WOO-HOO!!!''' (and a nice inversion of FinalSeasonCasting, to boot)* The new ''Series/KnightRider'' show has a fair share of haters, especially fans of the old series. But it seems like the producers were paying attention to the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' fandom and they have revealed an episode where a villain from the old series returns, KITT's EvilCounterpart KARR. To top it off, they also brought back the original voice actor for KARR, who is... yes, Creator/PeterCullen. The show is still hated, but no one can argue that bit of casting.** Given that the new KARR looks more like Optimus Prime than the old KARR, one wonders if this isn't just a happy coincidence. * ''Series/FamilyFeud,'' in the first John O'Hurley season, fashioned the set into an updated version of the classic Richard Dawson/Ray Combs set.* What's this? ''Million Dollar Password''? Oh, they're just twisting the classic to fit in with today's big money shows. It's actually more like ''Pyramid'' and...Oh, Creator/BettyWhite is going to be on an episode? When's it on???? [[MemeticMutation NO, NOT BETTY WHITE!]]* They're making ''[[Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', a TV show based on the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise, WITHOUT Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger? - Hold on - they're replacing him with [[Series/{{Firefly}} RIVER TAM]]!!!* Man, the third season of ''Series/{{Lost}}'' has really sucked, what with Hydra Island and Bai Ling and Nikki and Paulo. BUT WAIT HOLY CRAP [[spoiler:THE FLASHBACK WAS REALLY A FLASH-FORWARD]]!* The New York television station WPIX 11 is known for doing this a lot. Even as they became a partial O&O of Creator/TheWB and later an affiliate of Creator/TheCW (obviously having to use their programming as well as others that appeal to modern audiences; i.e. Jerry Springer, ''Series/{{Friends}}'' reruns, etc.), they would often present nods to their past, especially for those who grew up with the station in the '70s and '80s. Among them have been: ''Honeymooners'' marathons on New Year's Day; a retrospective on ''The Magic Garden''; the Halloween 2008 return of ''Chiller Theatre''; and one of the most popular, the return of the Christmas Day Yule Log since 2001. For a time they used to have a prime time block of '70s sitcoms on Saturdays, and for their 60th anniversary, a marathon was dedicated to classic programs that used to be seen on WPIX.** Of course the most visible moment that caused celebration now would be the fact that the station has stripped itself of the "CW" logo and goes by "PIX 11" (complete with slightly updated version of the "Circle 11" logo it used in its heyday).** In December 2013, staffers at WPIX discovered a [[http://pix11.com/2013/12/23/lost-christmas-episode-of-the-magic-garden-found-in-secret-pix11-basement-room/ hidden vault]], containing ''dozens'' of unique things that the channel ran dating back to TheFifties - including the original master tapes of the Christmas Yule Log, a [[UsefulNotes/MLBTeams Billy Martin]] special, TV shows ranging from ''Series/TheHoneymooners'' to ''Series/TheWonderYears'', and a [[MissingEpisode once-lost]] ChristmasEpisode of ''The Magic Garden'' (which they aired on Christmas Day 2013). At the end of the article, they mention having "several off-site storage warehouses [they] plan to explore soon" - meaning that there could be even ''bigger'' discoveries made. WeWait...** In 2016, the ''original'' version of the Yule Log, thought for the longest time to have been damaged beyond repair, was somehow found and scheduled to air on December 24, exactly 50 years to the day where it aired the first time.* With Season 2 gone and done, and Season 3 scripts about three-quarters of the way through, ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' was looking less and less like must-see TV. And then they rehired Creator/BryanFuller of ''Series/PushingDaisies'' as Writing Counselor. Yes, the guy who wrote the episode "Company Man".** And now we've gotten something even cooler: ''Heroes'' will return in a 13-episode series called ''Heroes Reborn''! (No relation to the Marvel event).*** It took a while for the cast to be announced as to who would and wouldn't be returning. There was quite a stir when news broke that Creator/MasiOka would reprise his role as EnsembleDarkhorse Hiro Nakamura.* ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' worried the fans with the cherry red, plastic-looking costume for the eponymous hero. Then came the trailers showing practically every Rider from the 2000s involved in a single, gigantic battle against an unseen foe (It was the very virst scene of the series). Not to mention the ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'' crossover and the ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' arc (the latter complete with Tetsuo Kurata reprising the role of Kotaro Minami).** Five words: ''All Riders vs. Great Shocker''. The rejoicing continues to pile up with each new bit of news, including the fact that [[Series/KamenRiderBlack Black]] and [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Agito]] will be played by their original actors (Note that the former was before the ''Black RX'' arc was announced). [[spoiler:Those appearances ultimately amounted to nothing more than ending cameos.]]** Just recently it was announced that pop singer Gackt will be playing Riderman, whose original actor has passed on. The fact that Gackt is OneOfUs and has healthy respect for ''Franchise/KamenRider'' means it counts as an ATFR.** ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' recieved a similar treatment. Many made gay jokes over the FusionDance aspect. But then they revealed a single detail about the suit that made the fans want in at the press meeting. [[ScarfOfAsskicking A silver bifurcated scarf]], just like the Showa era Riders.** The Heisei era riders are going to get novel sequels, with most getting the writers who worked on the shows directly involved. One particular delight is that one of Hibiki's main writers before the controversial {{ReTool}} is going to be working with the Hibiki novel.* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' has this line from the trailer: "I have seen [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Men of steel die]] and [[Franchise/{{Batman}} dark knights fall]]." Cue excited squealing. * With George R.R. Martin being personally involved, fans were quietly optimistic about the adaptation of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. The first bit of casting news, Creator/PeterDinklage as Tyrion, was widely accepted as a perfect bit of dream casting. Then we get ''Sean Bean'' as Ned Stark. Yeah. It's perfectly OK to be excited now.** Then one of the last decisions to be announced: ''[[Series/StarGateAtlantis Ronon]]'' as Khal Drogo. Best. Casting decision. Ever.** Aiden Gillan from ''TheWire'' as Littlefinger has gotten a fair amount of squees.** [[ThinBlueLine Detective Boyle]] is King Robert? Awesome!** A lot of these moments happened as the show progressed:*** Who the hell is this guy playing Syrio Forel? Syrio's bald, not an effemi...effem....OMG THIS IS SOOOOO AWESOME!!*** [[Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles Sarah Connor]] is Cersei Lannister? Really? Oh...WOW!*** "I'm just worried about the child actors - you know what they can sometimes be cra...AMAZING."** One of the last roles to be filled: Tywin Lannister. Who do we get? Charles Dance. And he's a fan of the books.** Well, the first season is over, and it was '''[[SoCoolItsAwesome AWESOME]]'''!! But the second season doesn't start till Spring 2012. NOOOOOOOOO..wait, '''[[Creator/GeorgeRRMartin THE MAN]] HIMSELF''' is writing the script for the Battle of the Blackwater episode? YES!!** Creator/GwendolineChristie as Brienne. Though there are inevitably still some complaints that she's too good-looking for the hideously plain ActionGirl, we can still be thankful that she's not some supermodel, and Martin himself approved of the casting. Now that pictures are out of [[http://images.wikia.com/gameofthrones/images/3/37/Brienne.jpg Christie in costume]], any and all doubts should be alleviated.** Natalie Dormer (from ''TheTudors'') as Margaery Tyrell has sparked this sort of reaction, as well.** THE REEDS WILL BE IN SEASON THREE!* A remake of ''Series/ThePrisoner''? Oh man, it's gonna be a lame [[CulturalTranslation Americanized]] [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks hack job]], etcetera...But then, Creator/IanMcKellen said..."[[http://io9.com/5385875/ian-mckellen-is-a-sick-torture-genius-in-new-trailer-for-the-prisoner Be seeing you]]". AndThereWasMuchRejoicing.* ''Gameshow Marathon'' is going to be hosted by Ricki Lake? RICKI F'N LAKE?!!? And C-list celebrities will be playing all the ga...oh wow, is that a recreation of the CBS ''MatchGame'' set? And the NBC version of ''CardSharks'', going back to the ORIGINAL rules??? And [[PressYourLuck the Big Board]] lives!* Michael Schumacher's coming back to UsefulNotes/FormulaOne? Oh fuck yeah, I'm watching again!* The average ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fan's reaction to the ''Discworld/TheColourOfMagic'' miniseries news. "Meh, that really wasn't one of his best books. And Creator/DavidJason as Rincewind? Are they ''kidding''? HOLY CRAP, [[Creator/JeremyIrons JEREMY IRONS]] IS PLAYING THE PATRICIAN! [[Creator/TimCurry TIM CURRY]] AS TRYMON! [[Creator/ChristopherLee CHRISTOPHER LEE]] AS [[TheGrimReaper DEATH]]! THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!"* Oh, they're making a new superhero drama on NBC called ''Series/TheCape''. Eh, we've already got one superhero drama wait is that Creator/KeithDavid and is ''that'' Creator/SummerGlau and ''holy shit'' this is going to be ''awesome!''* ''Series/{{Glee}}'' was announced to be getting a second AND third season before its first season was even finished airing. Needless to say the fans were pleased.** The addition of [[Creator/TeamStarKid Darren Criss]] to the cast excited a large portion of the gleeks.** Two fandoms rejoiced at once when it was announced that ''Creator/JossWhedon'' was going to direct an episode. More rejoicing when it was revealed that ''Creator/NeilPatrickHarris'' was guest starring in the episode. YES PLEASE!** Creator/IdinaMenzel guest-starring in ''Series/{{Glee}}'' was a big one, but the rejoicing hit stratospheric levels once it was revealed that she [[spoiler: WAS Rachel's birth mother]].** Charice.** [[spoiler: Kurt and Blaine finally, finally, FINALLY kissed! TWICE!]] That sound you heard was a million [[spoiler: Klaine]] fangirls {{Squee}}ing. [[spoiler: They Kissed]] was even a trending topic on Twitter within minutes of it airing.** The above was made all the more significant because fans thought they were getting let down again when Misery, which was thought to [[spoiler: be sung to Kurt]] was just another Warblers number. The reaction: It's just going to be another UST-filled epi....holy shit! [[spoiler: Blaine]] just said he wants to sing at Regionals with [[spoiler: Kurt]]? He picked [[spoiler: Candles]] as their duet? HOLY SHIT [[spoiler: THEY KISSED]]!** The news that Darren Criss and the Warblers will be releasing an album of their own was greeted with multiple, ear-piercing squeals.** However there was an inversion for the first confirmed song of the prom episode. Friday.** No doubt quite a few will rejoice when they hear that Finn and Rachel '''''WON'T''''' be going through any more drama. Of course, half of them are [[{{Shipping}} genuine shippers]] and the other half is ''utterly sick of Finchel drama.''** Remember when glee was renewed for two more seasons simultaneously when it first started? It happened again near the end of season four, with a fifth and sixth season confirmed. The fandom was just as pleased as last time.*** Unfortunately, [[MoodWhiplash just before the fifth season started production]], the series was struck with the AuthorExistenceFailure of castmate Cory Monteith. To be fair, they handled it beautifully.* Well done, ''[[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit SVU]]. You've killed off yet another AD-- hey, is that [[HelloAttorney Alex Cabot]]? [[LesYay Boy, is Liv going to be pleased to see you!]]* The news that Netflix bought the rights to adapt Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents into an original series, a full 10 years after the failed attempt to adapt the books into films. On top of that, Daniel Handler himself will be executive producing, and the director will be none other than Barry Sonnenfeld, who has plenty of experience working on [[Film/TheAddamsFamily darkly]] [[GetShorty funny]] [[AddamsFamilyValues cult]] [[Series/PushingDaisies favourites.]]* Pretty much every announcement regarding the LiveActionAdaptation of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' has gotten this reaction. First came the news that Frank Darabont, maker of ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'' and ''Film/TheGreenMile'', two of the greatest films of TheNineties, was the executive producer, and was writing and directing the pilot. Then came the fact that Robert Kirkman was directly involved as a part of the creative team, including writing the fourth episode. And then came the trailer and the behind-the-scenes footage, which revealed that AMC is ''not'' holding back one bit on the violence.* Creator/JossWhedon is making a [[Series/{{Dollhouse}} new show]]! And it stars Creator/ElizaDushku! Wait...is she ''about to [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer kiss]]'' a sexily scarred Creator/AmyAcker?! And she's wearing DOMINATRIX GEAR this episode? And she seems to have been SchoolGirlLesbians with ''[[Creator/SummerGlau SUMMER GLAU]]''?!?!* Many people like to pretend [[SeasonalRot Season 8]] of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' didn't exist. Season 9 had mixed but better results. So people were a bit skeptical about Season 10....wait...[[spoiler:{{ComicBook/Darkseid}}]] is the final BigBad! The SuicideSquad! The possibility of [[spoiler: Lex returning]]! Well okay I gue...huh...John Schnider AND Creator/JohnGlover are going to have guest roles! [[{{HSQ}} OH]] [[{{Squee}} MY GOD]], [[spoiler: IS THAT THE SUPER SUIT!?]]. Yeah, this is gonna be awesome!** Callum Blue returning for an episode? Cool!** Creator/MichaelRosenbaum coming back for the series finale? [[{{HSQ}} Holy crap!!!]]** How about the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica? In a two-parter? Written by ''Creator/GeoffJohns''?* The news that [[CoolOldLady Margaret Mountford]] would be returning for the interview episode in Series 6 of ''Series/TheApprentice'' (UK) was greeted with [[http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/dec/14/the-apprentice-margaret-mountford widespread jubilation]].* Wait, [[Series/TheCape another superhero story on NBC?]] Yawn-- Is that Creator/KeithDavid and Creator/SummerGlau? In the same movie? While the nerds of the internet go Nerdgasm in the corner, you can be damn sure there will be rejoicing.** Rejoicing, yes, but evidently this did not translate into anyone actually bothering to watch the show.* ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' - Creator/LeonardNimoy as William Bell. Anyone?* No more JJ or Prentiss on ''Series/CriminalMinds'' during season six? And they're adding a new agent named Seaver who [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute looks like JJ]]? Forget it, I'm done with this show...Wait JJ and Prentiss are coming back as regulars for season seven? Seaver was PutOnABus? YES! YES! YES!* Fans of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' were happy to hear about ''DrewCareysImprovaganza''.** Wait, ''Whose Line?'' is being revived in the summer of 2013? Aww, Drew Carey's not gonna be hosting...but Colin, Ryan, and Wayne are guaranteed in every episode? Summer can't come fast enough!*** ...wait, Laura Hall announced on Reddit that she and Linda Taylor are returning?!* The Australian series {{Underbelly}} didn't need to do this as it was already a smash hit, however there was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwsRSYSPRsE promo]] that introduced the characters...was that [[Series/BlueHeelers Tom Croydon]]?* '''[[Creator/BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED]]''' is going to be in the new series of QI? On the Christmas episode? SIGN ME UP, PRONTO.* The rotation of guest announcers on ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' following longtime announcer Charlie O'Donnell's death. Almost everyone was pulling for Jim Thornton, since he was the only one who seemed to put any enthusiasm into his work. Finally, at the end of season 28, he was confirmed as the permanent announcer.* A television series of the book ''Literature/GoodOmens''...ehh...the [[DevelopmentHell film]] never happened and that was [[WTFCastingAgency fortunate]] so perhaps th- [[Creator/MontyPython Terry Jones]] is in charge?! YES!* They're making [[Series/CosmosASpacetimeOdyssey a new Cosmos]]...with ''UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson''.** And Creator/SethMacFarlane is producing it, with the intention of using his clout at Fox to get the show on a prime time slot.** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMJxjYRXYkU Trailer's out]]. And yes, that ''is'' the [[CoolShip Spaceship Of The Imagination]].* A TV series of Literature/AmericanGods is being made, with Creator/NeilGaiman writing for it.* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' is [[http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothypomerantz/2011/10/02/arrested-development-returning-to-tv-with-a-movie-to-follow/ coming back for another season?]] Now I can die happy.* [[http://news.yahoo.com/billy-crystal-returning-host-oscars-001559286.html Billy Crystal's going to host the Oscars again!]]* ''Series/TheCloser'' is ending in summer 2012? OH NO! Wait...did you just say there's going to be a {{spinoff}}?? ''Starring Creator/MaryMcDonnell as Sharon Raydor??'' '''OH DEAR GOD YES PLEASE!!'''* FX is making an ''Film/AngerManagement'' TV series? Oh, god. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck It's gonna suck]] without Creator/JackNicholson and Creator/AdamSandler. It'll be even worse because none of the original actors are reprising their roles and it's very loosely based on the movie, meaning no original plots or charac--WAIT!! [[Creator/CharlieSheen CHARLIE SHEEN]]'S GONNA BE IN IT?!?!?!?!?! AFTER BEING FIRED BY THE CBS EXECUTIVES FROM ''[[Series/TwoAndAHalfMen TWO AND A HALF MEN]]''?!?!?!?!?! EPIC WINNING.* For [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP:FiM fans]]: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlHnFywtesY "I wanna give a big shout out here, out there,]] WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic to all my bronies who may be watching."* From Series/TheColbertReport: The Better Know A District series is [[TheBusCameBack coming back]] with Nancy Pelosi agreeing that, since Creator/StephenColbert threw his might behind the "Disclose Act", will encourage the Democratic Congresspeople to come on his show for the interviews.* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': ** This Ross and Rachel drama is getting kind of annoying, where's the love gone guys? Wait, is that ''Monica and Chandler in bed together''?!? I've never thought about them before...OH MY GOD THEY'RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!!!** The writers will probably screw with us again and break them up like Ross and Rachel. What? They're staying together? They're ''moving in together''? They're [[spoiler: GETTING MARRIED?]] True love does exist!* From ''Series/TheCape'': Creator/SummerGlau and Creator/KeithDavid? You mean we get [[{{Series/Firefly}} River Tam]][=/=][[Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles Cameron]] and [[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Sergeant Foley]][=/=][[Franchise/MassEffect David Anderson]][=/=][[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Goliath]][=/=][[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Doctor Facilier]] on the same screen together? ''Hell yes.'' And BearMcCreary is doing the score!** Music/BearMcCreary has more resources to work with, namely a live traditional studio orchestra to match the retro orchestral scores of superhero movies (which in themselves are retro homages to early Hollywood action movies, which in turn are inspired by late Romantic symphonies and tone poems). On ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' and ''Series/{{Caprica}}'' he was fairly limited to whatever unconventional instruments he could find or play himself, which led to a much more musically unique (for US TV) soundtrack.*** Perhaps a remnant of ''BSG'', The Cape's theme opens up with a brief erhu (Chinese bowed instrument used frequently in the score to BSG) passage.* Man, it sucks that no ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' has been officially released aside from the [[Series/{{Ultraman}} original]] and ''[[Series/UltramanTiga Tiga]]'', and the former not to the Tsubaraya's approval and the latter is out of print... Shout Factory is releasing ''Series/UltraSeven''?! Though Tsubaraya can't license it directly it's not through Chaiyo?! And it's coming out at the end of 2012?!

''Series/UltramanX'' has become the first Toku series to livestream on Crunchyroll too! And ''Series/UltramanNexus'', ''Series/UltramanGaia'', and ''Series/UltramanGinga''[[note]]SequelSeries ''Ultraman Ginga S'' included[[/note]] have joined the lineup!* 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' and Tsuburaya is celebrating it with an all-CGI Ultraman movie as well as a new series, ''Ultraman Orb''!* ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' is being uncanceled in 2011 for two more seasons?! Hell yeah!** [[spoiler: Jenny Lewis]] makes a cameo in 4.6? Awesome!** There's going to be a [[spoiler: TyrannosaurusRex and Liopleurodon]] in the fifth season? Hooray!** A spin-off series in Canada?

YAY!!!* There's gonna be a SequelSeries to ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' '''and''' Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel have signed on to return!!** And it's been picked up for 2014!!!** Even better, they're gonna be showing re-runs of ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' to show this new generation "how it all started"! ** Two words for the sequel: SHAWN. RETURNS. Twice even, in the 1st season, no less!* Mac Taylor finally has a likeable,serious girlfriend on ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' AND he just told her he loves her onscreen? Yes!** The fandom rejoiced to hear Aiden was making an appearance after being fired, then a collective groan went out when she was StuffedIntoTheFridge and only appeared in flashbacks.* [[FeliciaDay Charlie]] is returning to ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' for another episode? [[BigYes HECK YES!]] Oh, and there's a new time travel episode this season! Those episodes are usually pretty good. Awesome. Wait, a character from the past is going to come to the present? Oh... okay. Wait. What? THEY'RE JOHN WINCHESTER'S PARENTS? YESYESYES!** Lately, ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has been [[WinBackTheCrowd improving again]], though what if it's cancel- Did TheCW just renew the show early? (along with ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' and ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'', making it an ATFR moment for their fandom too) And there's already ideas up to Season 10? [[BigYes YEEESSSS!!!!]] (For hindsight, TheCW almost never renews shows early, due to the network's business model and limited budget.)* ''The Tribe'' was an awesome show, it's such a shame they cancelled it after the cliffhanger that was Season 5...Wait, there'll be a sequel novel that continues the story? YES! There IS a god of bringing back quirky, obscure shows!** And now, five words: There will be a movie. To elaborate, it will be written by the director of the original series. The special effects in it will be done by the same company that created ''Lord of the Rings''. And they are planning to release it in 2014. That sound you just heard was the collective squeeing of everyone who has ever asked; 'But where the hell did that boat go?' It is ''happening,'' people.* The firing of Creator/DanHarmon and the ensuing hiatus had Series/{{Community}} fans worried about Season 4. However let the fans rejoice by saying. '''COMMUNITY IS BACK AND IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS EVER!''' ** Creator/DanHarmon '''''IS COMING BACK'''''!*** Unfortunately, it's seemed to come at a cost, as Donald Glover will only be appearing in 5 episodes of the fifth season.** Creator/NathanFillion is going to in Season 5!* Creator/DisneyChannel pulling a "Series/The90sAreAllThat" on Wednesday midnights... [[https://twitter.com/DisneyChannelPR/status/324611974501638145 We kid you not.]] Not to mention it was also right timing since it's the channel's 30th Anniversary. (Even though it's one show for a whole hour though, but who cares? It's the nostalgia that's important!)** And the 1st show aired that night? ''Series/EvenStevens''! Cue the big THANK YOU from oldschool Disney Channel viewers and fans.* Shame the ''Series/TwentyFour'' movie apparently is never going to get made... looks like we'll never get to see what happens to Jack Bauer after the series ende--- wait, what's this? [[http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2013/05/11/24_returning_to_tv_for_a_limited_run A potential revival of it as a 12-episode limited series]]?

[[{{Squee}} Yes!!]]** Fans were a little miffed most of the fourth chairs didn't appear in Season 1 (except Jeff Davis), but Greg Proops showed up in season 2, they got excited.** Brad's returning too!* To celebrate the 4th of July in 2013, MTV did a marathon of '''''music videos''''' all day.* ''NCIS'': Aw man, Ziva's leaving... but wait!

Between the two shows, every cast member who ever played a main character during any season of the show is back in business riffing cheesy movies.

This also gives a lot of reason for Creator/BryanFuller fans to celebrate, since this marks the first show he's created to receive more than two seasons!* So ''Series/{{Community}}'' has been cancelled before the #sixseasonsandamovie promise, the fandom is depressed and gloomy...

Now all we need is a movie...** But it won't be the same without [[Music/ChildishGambino Donald]] or Yvette...WAIT IS THAT KEITH DAVID?!!* Fans of 2006-2011-era Creator/DisneyChannel were enthralled at the news that the EnsembleDarkhorse actress from ''Series/HannahMontana'', Creator/EmilyOsment, would star in a new sitcom for Creator/ABCFamily, ''Series/YoungAndHungry'', co-executive produced by Music/AshleyTisdale. More excitement happened when Tisdale posted a picture on {{Twitter}} while its first episodes were being filmed standing next to Phill Lewis, a/k/a [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Mr. Moseby]] [[note]]Lewis previously appeared in the Disney Channel Original Movie ''Dadnapped'' with Osment[[/note]], on set, with news that he would be directing episodes, and still more good news when Tisdale made a [[CreatorCameo special guest appearance]] on a Y&H episode.* Creator/SamRaimi is working on an ''Franchise/EvilDead'' TV series?

Well, not only was it well-received, but as of May [[http://www.toughpigs.com/its-official-were-getting-a-new-muppet-show/ it's going to series!!!]] Expect ''Series/TheMuppets'' to show up during the 2015-16 TV season.** Now it's officially been confirmed for fall 2015, Tuesdays at 8/7c! And there's a [[http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2391650329/ trailer]] out already! Since then a concrete date for the premiere (September 22) was announced.* It really sucks that Tom Bergeron is leaving ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'', and I bet whoever they hire is gonna be nowhere near as goo-- wait, WHAT? '''''[[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir CARLTON]]''''' '''''[[http://youtu.be/BV4dYc3YG4E IS THE NEW HOST?!]]''''' YES!!! *starts blasting "It's Not Unusual" and doing the Carlton Dance** ''Series/{{Sisters}}'' is [[http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2015/06/himym-moves-to-tv-land-on-june-29-90s.html finally coming to DVD]]!* ''Series/TheColbertReport'' is ending?? What?? You can't take away half of the funniest, sharpest political satire on American television!!! What do you ''mean'' the ''Report'' is end-- wait. It's ending because ''Creator/StephenColbert is '''taking over for Creator/DavidLetterman on'' The Late Show??''' THERE IS A GOD!!!* ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' ** "This isn't so bad, I guess. Oh, look, Mike is in it, that's awesome. Uh oh, one of those skaters just hit a car. But whose? It's an old lady's. Hey, who's "Mijo?" Guess she has a son or grandson, or... Holy shit, it's [[spoiler: Tuco]]! Oh my God! I can't believe that [[spoiler: Raymond Cruz]] agreed to come back for the role! This is awesome!"** "Well looks like [[spoiler: Tuco]] isn't gonna appear anymore on ''Better Call Saul''- wait, is that [[spoiler: HECTOR SALAMANCA?!?!?! AND HE'S WALKING AND TALKING INSTEAD OF BEING IN A WHEELCHAIR?!?!?!?! AND THE COUSINS CAME BACK?!?!?!?!

HOLY SHIT, THE CREATORS HAVE CONFIRMED THE ANAGRAM IS INTENTIONAL!!!! GUS FRING'S RETURNING IN SEASON 3!!!! IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!!]]* Fans of ''Theatre/TheWiz'' found [[WaxingLyrical a reason to rejoice]] for Creator/{{NBC}}'s live adaptation after learning that Stephanie Mills, who originated the role of Dorothy Gale on Broadway[[note]]but got shafted from [[Film/TheWiz the movie]] after Diana Ross campaigned for her part...[[/note]], would do some {{Remake Cameo}}s as Aunt Em.** Viewers who lamented NBC casting the lead characters of their previous musicals out of StuntCasting or {{Nepotism}} found relief when NBC announced an open casting call for Dorothy Gale - asking for an African-American female performer between the ages of 18 and 27, ensuring that Dorothy's actress would come closer to Mills' age during the original Broadway run (18) than Diana Ross did when she starred in the movie (at age 33).*** NBC ended up picking Shanice Williams, a then-19-year old actress with more experience in community theater than TV. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JmKpjK6_44 This video]] of her singing "Home" with Stephanie Mills gave some people assurance, even before watching the special, that she would make a great Dorothy.** NBC buoying the rest of the cast with such highly-regarded African-American actors, singers, and actors/singers as [[Series/InLivingColor David Alan Grier]], Music/QueenLatifah, and [[Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack Uzo Aduba]] also helped lend the production some credibility.* Excuse me, Creator/BBC, but are you feeling alright? I thought you just mentioned ''Series/RobotWars''. [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2016/robot-wars-returns You did?]] [[UnCancelled It's coming back?!]]** So Creator/CraigCharles isn't able to come back. That's a pity...but wait, Creator/DaraOBriain will be hosting the new series? And original commentator [[LargeHam Jonathan]] [[TheHyena Pearce]] will be back?! '''YES!'''* After 8 years, ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' is returning, to be produced by Amy and Dan Palladino with most of the original cast. * Many, many fans were alienated when the producer of Series/{{Mythbusters}} laid off the build team in the penultimate season of the show in 2014. In late 2016, Grant, Tory and Kari officially announced that they have been roped back by the producer of Mythbusters for their own show, ''Series/WhiteRabbitProject'', which was commissioned by Creator/{{Netflix}} and will be officially available in December 2016. Cue the delighted squee of the fans of the build team. ----
